At the moment i'm on cm10 Alpha 4 with Stock kernel. My phone was often very hot (>55°C) even if i wasnt playing games. I found CPU-Tuner on the Store and now my phone is on Deep Sleep down to 26,5°C cool and while playing "Dead Trigger" over 25min only 46,3°C.
I made some CPU-Settings and Underclocked the QuadCore a little bit. With 51mhz min and 1300mhz max settings on my "Full Battery" Profile, "Dead Trigger" is running without any lag. App Pushed to "system/app" () I also got better Battery Stats trough that App!

2 Cores
ANY TIPS ???
Omg the Celsius is from the battery,not from CPU.... Can you read ?

I've never said that its the temp of the CPU and does that really matter? The Battery is also very hot while gaming and gets cooler with my setup. Do you know a good APP for monitoring CPU temperature ?

Dead Trigger doesn't lag when two cores are active.
EDIT: I play all games with two cores, only for battery saving. But now, I set CPU tuner profile to battery saver (740 mhz) and it work smoothly on two cores.

How to set my display to lower my
Battery to drain slower???
...like u see I always on between 56-65 %

I set mine to 50-75% when I'm indoors, when I'm in the sun I have to bump it up to 100%. I don't notice much battery drain from normal usage, only with games and video, they normally drain batteries really fast. I don't play any games only some YouTube or videos I took.

If you go to settings then power saving, you will see custom power saving settings you can then adjust how to same battery including the option for brightness.
I always keep mine at full brightness and I've gotten killer battery life. My phone averages 3-4 hours screen on time. Of course I can make that stretch 5 hours or one whole day. Depends on how much you use your phone of course.

I do undervolt, but its not excessive. You could achieve close to this without undervolting at all. Smartreflex works well and it doesn't require any trial and error.
These are my results. If you don't get them, don't flame me. I'm trying to share with others what I have found to work. All devices are different, but this setup should work fairly well for anyone.
Note: I do have the 2000mah extended OEM battery, so keep that in mind if you don't get the same results. Anything just short of these results is still excellent.

For anyone who's trying to be an asshole and make others or myself look bad, just quit. I put this up to help people. Is there a problem with trying to help people? That's how people are driven to keep their findings to themselves and not share with the community.
At the rate I was going, I would hit about 4.15 hours after 60 hours off the charger. Imagine the screen on time for a normal day?
Please respect others and happy modding

He has only 17% battery usage with 30 mins screen on over 15 hours. That works out to 90 hours and 3 hours screen on on a single charge, which is pretty damn good. It's not as easy to get high standby times as you think (I average 36 hours personally but only with 2 hours screen on).
Sent from my Transformer TF101
Purely my take, and this isn't a dig at the OP whatsoever, but why do people need the battery to last more than a working day? Do you not charge it overnight? I can understand the odd time you might be without a charger but almost everyone these days has a micro USB lead they can borrow from a work colleague/uni mate to charge their phone if they need to
At the end of the day my phone last from when I get up to when I go to bed and that's all that matter IMHO

you're underclocked on an extended battery... nothing to do here
Oh.. one of these threads again
I appreciate all the debate above input and questioning. My reasoning for ridiculous battery life is mainly to maximize screen on time. If the phone is standing by efficiently, it will have more juice for when you need to use it. And I also like to show off to the apple fanboys
Now for anyone being negative, like the comment above me, you sir, can kindly leave.

I have to ask, but with all of that stuff you have disabled.. is your phone even a smartphone anymore? Are you a kid who just plays video games on his phone?
I've acheived the same results +/- small variances with CM10.1 nightlies and the latest Lean kernel set as follows:
min 230mhz CPU
max 920mhz CPU
stock voltages
307mhz GPU
All push notifications for apps enabled, 1 gmail, 1 exchange accounts, location services on, google now enabled, etc...
If you have something to show apple people, you're doing it wrong.
I do appreciate your effort in sharing your battery experience with us.

Lol, no, I'm a college student who is just interested in optimizing the OS. do you see any games on my battery usage? Hah, no. So actually look and examine before you judge, smarty
All my things sync fine. The google backup system basically freezes when on 3G. All the extra stuff syncs automatically on wifi. Gmail works on 3G, just not Facebook or other less useful, more entertaining things.
So yes, still smartphone, if fact, smarter than most. It's just not draining my battery while its in my pocket.
Good day sir.

When I went to the seaside, I forgot my phone and I was there for 4 days. When I got back, I still got 4% with 4 days and 14 hours. Data/wifi was off. Every phone can stand 5 days if not used.

your data and wifi were off partner. with most things enabled, normally a phone won't last impressively long.

Except you're literally not using the phone, whereas OP would have 3 hours (estimated) screen-on time. Plus, your phone was stationary so it didn't have to switch between cell towers.
Anyway, that 3-hour stat is only extrapolating from the 30 mins that OP showed. OP hasn't shown us a full rundown yet, and I'm curious to see if he can actually sustain that kind of usage.
In other battery threads, it's just a pissing contest between who has the highest screen on time, and I couldn't care less. Why not? I use my phone everyday to stream Pandora via 4G and Bluetooth to my car stereo while driving to/from work. That entire time, my phone has two radios in use and CPU working to decode audio but the screen is off (pay attention to the road, not your phone!). For this reason, my screen on time means little to me. Total standby time matters to me because if I forget to charge it one night, I'm not frantically watching my battery level the next day.

My phone only dropped less than 10% without being touched for a week..................................
http://www.engadget.com/2013/07/29/nexus-7-review-2013/
Since ASUS has made a considerable effort to slim down the new Nexus, we suppose it shouldn't come as much of a surprise to find that the battery is also smaller: it's been shrunk from 4,325mAh to 3,950. This was worrying at first, especially given the extra pixels that need to be lit up. In normal use, we discovered that the device could easily last us at least a day and a half, and we could certainly push it longer by being more conscious about preserving battery life. Gaming and multimedia were unfortunately different stories: we drained the battery nearly 30 percent in just one hour of playing graphically intense games like Riptide. Our video rundown test, which consists of a 1080p movie playing back on an endless loop with the display on 50 percent brightness, yielded a life of seven hours and 15 minutes, which was much poorer than last year's Nexus 7. That tablet lasted nine hours and 49 minutes in the same test.
(Update: many of our commenters have rightly pointed out that the new Nexus 7 has a much brighter display, which may lead to faster battery drain when it's set at the same percentage instead of a nit-for-nit comparison.)

How fast does your battery drain while gaming? Please mention the game played, length of session, battery percentage before and after, whether wifi was in use, and screen brightness.

With heavy gaming use, RipTide2 or ShadowGun DeadZone (Online Multiplayer FPS) I average around an hour per 10% or less of battery use so far.
Played Crazy Taxi for about a half hour and dropped 5-6% which I didn't find all that terrible. Can't expect the world from the battery.

You get over ten hours of gaming? That is hard to believe.
According to Anandtech, last year's N7 only got 4 hours during heavy gaming. http://www.anandtech.com/show/6073/the-google-nexus-7-review/7
The N7 also fared poorly compared to every iPad. http://www.anandtech.com/show/6429/ipad-mini-review/8
I give more weight to Anandtech's benchmarks that most others. They are generally the most thorough and technical. Although the above are for the previous gen N7, I'd be shocked if the new model can achieve 10+ hours gaming on a single charge. None of the current gen tablets can do that.
I played Cordy for an hour and it ate 20 to 30% of battery.

What level brightness?
According to Anandtech, the new N7 display goes up to 583 nits, while the original only 312 nits. Brightness probably has a huge impact on battery life.

Is it possible to adjust max CPU frequency in stock Android 4.3?
N7's cpu/gpu is overkill for most games. Setting a freq ceiling might extend battery life significantly without a noticeable impact on game performance.

Going to need to root your device and use an app like SetCPU to lower the clock speed.
Trying to work out if my tab battery is working as it should, i just run a sd video on full brightness for 10 mins and it took 4%. At that rate i will only get about 4 hours on a full charge. That seems really low, can someone else try this and let me know how much battery you use. Thanks
Check your battery usage and see where your trons are going. I watch full length movies on less than 10%

How long are those movies, about 1.5 - 2 hours? I just tested an hour long video and my battery went down 10%. Wireless was tuned off, and screen brightness was in the 30-40% range.
When I look at my battery usage, the android system, android os, and media server take up the most power (about 50% altogether). But I wouldn't know where to start to improving battery life.
With wifi turned on and doing casual web browsing and watching YT, I still get about a 10~15% decrease in one hour.
-> full brightness?
